Steve Martin has stepped in to support a school production of his play that was banned after parents objected to its adult themes.
Students at La Grande High School in Oregon were stopped from staging Picasso at the Lapin Agile.
Martin has offered to help pay for the play to be performed off-campus.
He said he was supporting the production because he did not want his play "acquiring a reputation it does not deserve".
